Third Realm Integration
Awaken Your Heart's Wisdom
Heart Conscious Integration Coaching and Consulting
Get Ready to Uncover the Essence of Your Journey
Our unresolved patterns can cause blockages in our psychological, emotional, and physical energy bodies that may lead to issues with relationships, work-life balance, mood and motivation, mental and physical health, self-love and acceptance, anger, resentment, and victimization, boundaries (i.e., energetic, psychological and physical), personal safety, and much more.
If you are struggling to find your purpose and wish to heal the traumas of past and present lifetimes that are blocking you from expressing your highest potential, I invite you to explore the possibilities for transformation with the Third Realm Integration program.
Most clients I work with have experienced one or more non-ordinary states of consciousness including spiritual awakenings and near death experiences, are psychically and spiritually perceptive, and/or identify as empaths, highly sensitive people (HSPs), codependents, wounded healers/helpers, caregivers, artists, entrepreneurs, leaders, and wisdom seekers of all kinds. Those who benefit most from this work are people who want to increase their spiritual and emotional intelligence.
The Third Realm Philosophy
Third Realm Integration is a heart conscious (or heart-centered) integration methodology rooted in psychodynamic, Jungian, existential, energy, and transpersonal psychology. The heart conscious philosophy of unconditional love is the core tenant of the Third Realm Integration philosophy. Unconditional love is defined as the capacity for love without the desire to change anything (Mossbridge, 2023). The vibration of unconditional love resonates at 852 Hz, which is a sound frequency that is used to induct each client into the heart-opening healing journey.
When we align ourselves with the vibration of unconditional love through a centered and open heart, we can find peace within our suffering and step into the state of radical acceptance (and radical responsibility) where we begin to withdraw our projections (including positive projections, like empathy) and let go of the urge to "fight," control, or change what is beyond us to feel stable and safe.
In some traditions, this is called the "observer" or "witness" state of being as it directs us to detach ourselves from the outcome and release the ways in which our wounded ego reacts (or attaches) when caught in survival reactions of fight/flight/freeze.
In the Vajrayana tradition, the transformation happens within the suffering which is occupied and expressed through our fear patterns. The suffering provides us the resource to "go in," expand our window of tolerance, allow our emotions to flow, and actualize towards our highest Self. When we absorb the teachings of our suffering patterns, new paths open up for us as our ego follows (and serves) our inner leader and teacher (our highest Self).
Let's drop into the heart and watch the rest unfold!
The Third Realm Model
The Third Realm Integration model is aimed at cultivating wholeness by making the unconscious conscious, unfolding the meaning of our soul's evolution and participation with life, and teaching ways to access the wisdom of integrated consciousness using the vibration of unconditional love found in the heart center.
Most clients feel relief almost immediately upon beginning the work. In my experience, it takes most clients about 8-12 sessions to demonstrate measurable and noticeable shifts. In these initial weekly sessions, a momentum is cultivated between provider and client that greatly aids in the unfolding process of healing.
Transpersonal techniques like archetypal exploration, heart-centered meditation, breathwork, dream work, holotropic or psychedelic therapy, and cosmology are taught and practiced in session. Mythology is employed as the conceptual and theoretical framework for understanding the arc of our psychological development.
The Third Realm Method
An Alchemical Union Between Unconditional Love and the Cosmos
The Third Realm Method specifically utilizes a combination of heart-centered integration practices and archetypal astrology to help clients influence patterns and events that are observable in their birth chart. The goal is to integrate these patterns and ultimately express our highest potential as we become orchestrators of our destiny. This method is only one piece of the Third Realm Model and is an optional component of the Third Realm program. Astrological assessments are, however, utilized in the first session for all clients and may/may not be incorporated into the work.
Why do ancient cultures hold mythical stories in such high regard? "Well, because that's what's worth writing about."
Joseph Campbell
Therapeutic Mythology
At Third Realm Integration, all practices are in support of helping clients navigate and integrate The Hero or Heroine's Journey which are myths that embody masculine-feminine and/or solar-lunar energies. While most men identify with The Hero's Journey and most women identify with The Heroine's Journey, there is arguably room for crossover especially since everyone possesses some degree of all archetypes.
The Hero and Heroine's Journey are archetypal myths or motifs that provide a framework for understanding the natural arch of human psychological development. Joseph Campbell (1949) was most famous for his work on The Hero's Journey, which he described as the call to action, adventure, and self-sufficiency on a path towards personal triumph. The Hero matures and grows through the many trials and tribulations he encounters on his adventure and meets allies along the way that support his outer journey. He eventually makes his return as an evolved being with newfound wisdom.
The Heroine's Journey, on the other hand, is a more robust myth that includes many aspects of The Hero’s Journey in addition to some new elements. The Heroine also responds to the call, but makes her transformation through the inward journey that results in a collective transformation. Much like The Hero, she meets allies along the way who help her transform. However, The Heroine's allies grow alongside her through life's obstacles. Their evolution is just as vital to The Heroine's growth as she is. It’s only through her open heart that the Heroine can make her return back home as a mature leader with vital knowledge to share.
While Campbell never pursued an understanding of The Heroine's Journey, it's a myth that has been reflected in ancient traditions for centuries. Western culture was largely absent of literature about the feminine's path until 1990 when Jungian psychoanalyst and student of Campbell's, Maureen Murdock, began writing about The Heroine's Journey. When she asked Campbell why he never wrote about The Heroine's Journey, he stated "Women don't need to make the journey. In the whole mythological tradition, the woman is there. All she has to do is realize that she's the place that people are trying to get to” (Campbell, 1981).
While Campbell may have been correct, it is argued that his perspective possessed far too narrow of a scope of the feminine's role and value. For centuries, long before Murdock's work, ancient and indigenous cultures and religions have appreciated The Heroine and her Journey through worship of primordial deity goddesses like Inanna (Ishtar), Isis, Sekmet, Helen of Troy, Ma'at, and Kali. In Christianity, The Heroine's Journey is portrayed in the story of Mary Magdelene and others. In Buddhism, she is known as Kuan Yin, the goddess of compassion.
Whether you identify more strongly with one journey over another, both paths showcase the process of psychological growth and development through life's challenges, or gates of consciousness. Each journey begins with a push, or nudge, from life that asks us to wake up, and show up.
Are you ready to answer life's call?
The Hero's Journey
Are you on the masculine path of adventure seeking your own independence and having to slay the obstacles of the inner and outer dragons along the way? Or, are you refusing the call altogether?
"The journey begins with a call: a cry...a whisper...a question...a moan. This is the summons to awaken from our slumber. This is a call that requires a response, a brave stepping out, a leap of faith. For on the other side of this threshold is a door. A door that opens wide onto vast, alive plains, that are, to us, unknown."

My Coaching Style
“When the student is ready the teacher will appear. When the student is truly ready...The teacher will disappear.” – Tao Te Ching
Progress happens when we shift our perspective on how we thought life was supposed to be, get ready to radically accept life on life's terms, recognize the role we can play in shaping our reality, and trust in a cosmic order that is much bigger than the human experience. Only then do we discover (and remember) the sacred contract our soul signed to incarnate here, now, in this moment with all of its opportunities.
My goal is to show you how to awaken your heart's wisdom (or inner healer) by embracing your Hero or Heroine's Journey with all of its teachings, no matter how painful. After all, it is not the people, places, or things that teach us what we need to know along the way. It is the path itself.
By integrating our deepest wounds and fears of vulnerability, we discover the life we've been searching for. By employing the stabilizing force and compassionate protection of the heart center, I will teach you how to walk through the fire without getting burned. Up next comes psychic freedom and radical independence. In my opinion, there is nothing more beautiful than that.
If now is the time to awaken your heart's wisdom and manifest your highest potential, let's meet in the Third Realm. I'll greet you there.
May the light always lead the way,
Maegan K.
A Bit About Me
Greetings! My name is Maegan Kenney and I am a transpersonal therapist, shamanic practitioner, therapeutic astrologer, mythologist, student of Vajrayana Buddhism, and owner of Third Realm Integration. I was first initiated onto the shamanic path back in 2007 with a crises that forever enhanced my capacity to move through life with an open and healthy heart.
In 2017, I began practicing heart-centering work under the tutelage of my teacher, Dr. Melissa Lowe. I now retain a number of certifications in Trauma-Sensitive HeartMath, Psychedelic Integration, Archetypal Consulting, Master's Level Holistic Astrology, and more. I also study the relationship between unconditional love and time travel as it pertains to quantum physics. In 2021, I started Third Realm Integration and designed the Third Realm Method combining astrology and heart-centered integration.
In my former life, I worked as a mental health counselor with a specialty in forensic and correctional counseling and went on to train as a clinical psychologist for several years before finding my true calling in transpersonal work.
I have both personal and professional experience with the many shadow elements of pharmaceutical medications and the Big Pharma Machine as well as the devastating consequences of an uncontrolled opioid pandemic and a broken criminal justice and mental health system. I've shared my perspectives on these subjects at academic conferences and on public platforms including the U.S. News & World Report, National Academy of Addiction Medicine, American College of Emergency Physicians (ACEP), iHeartRadio, WBZ-Boston, The Boston Globe, MassInc, Shatterproof, The Addictionary podcast, and more. I also host the Third Realm Integration Podcast (T.R.I.P.) where I share my perspectives on all things depth, existential, and transpersonal psychology.
I am now completing my PhD in transpersonal psychology at the California Institute of integral Studies (CIIS) and am completing my dissertation on The Heroine's Journey and the use of unconditional love for female psychedelic practitioners.
I have been a student of the heart, earth, and cosmos for many years and have shaped my therapeutic approach from the inside-out. As a true empath and introvert, I enjoy counseling those who seek the path of spiritual intelligence, reading about ancient civilizations, exploring the outdoors, stargazing, and most importantly, silence. I love to learn and consider myself a seeker of ancient knowledge. My two service dogs are Gracie and Gaia who often join me in session :)
"Most people spend their entire lives defending against being vulnerable. They receive the call of The Hero or Heroine's Journey, but hang up the phone out of fear. Instead, they unconsciously resist the opportunity for growth by protecting themselves with low vibrational energy (e.g., victim consciousness, or blaming and complaining) and therefore never fully surrender to their fears. They keep the resistance active and dense through the fight and employ substances, rage, and psychological manipulation as defensive strategies, all of which work for a while. But what happens when they stop working? What are we left with?
The answer is grief...grief from the lost connection to ourselves, our soul, our inner god, and our intuition. Only an open heart can bring us back home, maybe to the home we never knew."
